Big opp for Josh Green this year.  I said several times I thought he role here the last few years was either the wrong role for him or he just wasn't ready for that role yet. 

He should get more opportunities in Charlotte, but he needs to find ways to be a productive role player.  It should be a good spot for him but at the same time he could be a posiiton the team looks to upgrade if he doesn't take the bull by the horns.  My expectation is he is eventually a bench piece.  How important of a bench piece is TBD.

Ball
Green
Miller
Bridges
Williams

...that's a pretty stout starting lineup.  I hope Josh balls out

Cam Whitmore absolutely detonates on Walker Kessler last night... two times!!

Houston is the new Toronto with all those SF/PF wing studs...

Brooks 6'6" 225lbs 28yo 
Tate 6'4" 230lbs 28yo
Eason 6'8" 216lbs 23yo
Thompson 6'7" 209lbs 21yo
Whitmore 6'7" 232lbs 20yo

That's a whole lot of capital and salary for same starting role.  If you could trade for one of those players, who would it be?

I think Houston will be a problem once Reed and their other yutes fully get going.

Feels like they need to cut FVV's and Dillon's minutes, to give Reed, Amen and Whitmore enough minutes at PG and SF to develop.

- Reed/Amen, Jalen/Reed, Amen/Whitmore, Jabari/Eason, Sengun/Aquaman

From the new Netflix TV show, Reggie Miller was rooting for Wolves last year!

They definitely need to rebalance their roster.  

Backup/Future PG...  I think Reed, Amen, Whitmore, and Green can all give you time at PG, but another true PG is needed
Frontcourt Depth... Eason will obviously be spending most of his minutes at PF.  Sengun/Aquaman/Landale is fine.  IMO they still need a PF/C, someone who could start at both, someone like Maxi.

With 5 players having a lot of redundancy (Brooks, Tate, Eason, Thompson, and Whitmore), I'd use two of them land a PG and PF/C.

Herb Jones will essentially start at center for the Pelicans this season, per @ShamsCharania

Royce O'Neale and Ron Holland wouldn’t give up the ball.


Lol gotta love to see the fight.

I am still very glad we never traded for Kuzma. His first quarter highlights from last nights game.

Good for us. One more team not to worry about.

Ron Holland! Changing Pistons culture one loose ball at a time.

Just for this alone I am going to be spending then entirety of next season trying to conjure up ways to get him to the Mavs.


RE: AROUND the NBA: NBA Preseason Begins - Chicagojk - 10-14-2024

Is it real? suns Ryan Dunn goes 6-11 from three in the preseason yesterday. Why it matters…he could wind up being an elite if the elite defenders in the nba. The issue is he couldn’t shoot in college. Not even a lick.

If he can be just a respectable shooter, than that is a home run draft pick by the suns. Only one game but for a guy who passed up shots in college, this is a nice development

Not sure I'd mess with Rick.  He's got that Brunson squaty body.  I wonder what the story is with this?  Obviously Dante and Rick have known each other for many years.

If he isn't the long wing prototype.  IMO, SF is PHX's biggest need after sending them all to BRK.

Wonder if Dante got sideways with Rick and feels like it contributed to the trade?

@Sean_Barnard1
Not gonna fully sound the alarm but Paul George is not on the bench to start the second half as the Sixers resume their preseason matchup with the Hawks

This play did not look great for PG
